Houston Becomes More Beautiful with TURKIC FEST Days!

Turkic Cultures and Children’s Festival is at the Herman Square of Downtown-Houston on Nov 7^th and 8^th.

The rich history, breathtaking Ottoman Military Band, hospitable people and amazingly delicious food. When you go to visit Turkic Fest, and you should, here are a few Turkish delights you simply can't miss:

The Turkish Coffee: A symbol of lasting friendship

According to the famous Turkish proverb, “A Single Cup of Coffee is Remembered for 40 Years”.

The Turkish Baklava

Such a Taste that you will never forget through your life!

The Turkish Delight

A sweet candy from Turkey which was featured in the book "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".

The Turkish Food

Common thing on every bite and piece: its freshness, and delight of so many visitors!

Ottoman Military Band

It is thought to be the oldest variety of military marching band in the world. Ottoman Military Band from Turkey brings the sights, sounds, and rhythms of Anatolia to the doorstep of Houston. It is a rare and treasured experience for the many Houstonians and Texans who attend.

Shopping

Booths may tempt you with inexpensive souvenirs, evil-eye ornaments and colorful scarves. But the best souvenirs are the fine carpets and hand-painted ceramics that you can envision becoming family heirlooms. Even if you don't plan on returning with a timeless treasure, take a few minutes to explore Ottoman House that will take you back to the time of Sultans.

Call to prayer

The beauty of the routine Islamic call to prayer will happen four times a day at the Houston Blue Mosque during the TURKIC FEST and can be heard all over, so you can't miss it. But make sure you take the time to actually listen and be open-minded enough to appreciate its beauty.
